Jaggery
Gur
3.6 g1 teaspoon
11 g1 tablespoon
Grated jaggery or soft brown sugar weighs approx. 3.6 g per level tsp
Instead of Jaggery
Granulated sugarUse 80% of the weight. Granulated sugar is sweeter by weight, but gives a cleaner, one-dimensional sweetness that lacks jaggery's caramel, molasses depth.
RaisinSoak and blend into a paste; use 100% to 120% of the weight. Adds rich, natural, fruity sweetness with complex, dark molasses notes that thicken the gravy.
